This video explores the German Deckungszielgerät (DZG), a periscopic rifle mount developed during World War II. Designed to adapt rifles for trench warfare reminiscent of WWI, the DZG was initially intended for the Gewehr 41(M) and 41(W). The video notes that it was later modified to fit captured Soviet SVT-40 rifles and could also accommodate the Karabiner 98k, though without a bolt-cycling mechanism. While the exact production numbers are unknown, the DZG was not widely manufactured. The example featured has been restored, and surviving units lack serial numbers or manufacturer codes.
